Just helped a neighbour change a tire
20-something year old girl, absolutely clueless about changing a tire, had a blowout, towed home and knew I knew about cars, so she asked me for help. Reminded me of my first (and only) blowout, when I was 20 or 21, and also absolutely clueless, but knew enough to check the manual.
Why don't they teach this in driver's ed? Seems like it should be something everyone knows how to do. Locate the jack/toolkit, identify jackpoint, crack nuts, jack, remove, replace, replace nuts, lower, tighten. Easy as pie for most of us, but for the general populace, mystifying.
